Of the five he played in prior to Brazil, Schweinsteiger reached the semifinals on three occasions and at Euro 2008 he was part of the Germany team that lost to Spain in the final.

All that changed on Sunday night, though, when he and his teammates beat Argentina 1-0 to win the World Cup in the Maracana.

Schweinsteiger does not want this to be the last time he lifts a trophy, however.
With a young squad in place, he feels there is plenty of potential there for Germany to go on and win many trophies in the near future.

"This will give us hunger now, absolutely," the midfielder said. "We want to do it again at the next tournament. The important thing is that the young guys have the experience of this tournament and we will go to France (for Euro 2016) and try and do it again for sure.
